Bournemouth interested in signing Cameron Carter-Vickers from Tottenham
According to Football Insider, Bournemouth have reopened talks to sign Cameron Carter-Vickers on a permanent move from Tottenham Hotspur this season.
Carter-Vickers was on loan to the Championship club last, and his impressive performances have convinced Bournemouth that he is their main man at the back in the future as well. While the Cherries were interested in signing the player earlier this summer as well, talks broke down. However, they are back in the race to sign the player while it is also said that the club are making a ‘concerted’ move for the 23-year-old.
The United States international made 21 appearances in the Championship last season as he overcame injuries as helped Bournemouth to a 6th place finish in the league i.e., a place in the play-off positions, where they eventually bowed out to Brentford.
A deal does look on the cards, especially after Tottenham also made it clear to the player that he is allowed to leave the club. This was a bold move by Spurs, who have also lost the likes of Juan Foyth and Toby Alderweireld.However, Tottenham have made the necessary additions by signing Cristian Romero while they are also in the market for Villarreal’s Pau Torres and Bologna’s Takehiro Tomiyasu.
While Carter-Vickers has been allowed to leave, there will be some negotiation about the offer put forth by Bournemouth. Spurs were understood to have activated a 12-month-extension option in the defender’s contract so as to not lose him on a free this summer.

Thus, while Spurs were demanding a fee in the region of £2.5million in January, they are set to demand £5million for the player after they signed the player on a new contract.
However, it remains to be seen whether Bournemouth will sign the player this summer despite the continuous interest.
